10:51Now PlayingNewsom Called Out For Saying He’s Dumb Like Black People! w/ Elaine Culotti
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhile speaking recently to a predominantly black audience, California governor Gavin Newsom compared himself to those in attendance when he disparaged his SAT scores, attributing the low marks to his dyslexia. Critics have called Newsom’s comments not only tone deaf but also racially insensitive.
Jimmy contrasts Newsom’s attempt to portray himself as relatable with details about his privileged upbringing, including family connections to billionaire Gordon Getty and early business backing through PlumpJack.
Jimmy also talks to former “Undercover Billionaire” star and current No Party Preference CA gubernatorial candidate Elaine Culotti about Newsom’s profane response in a tweet to Sean Hannity, framing it as part of a broader trend of politicians using vulgar language to appear authentic.
The episode closes with commentary on partisan hypocrisy, a reference to Malcolm X, and a policy pitch from Culotti advocating for a California-based credit union model to better support small businesses.
